Agreed. Third party package repositories has been a weak point in our CI, and we put all of them behind a self-hosted proxy that we can manage in our own HA fasion. Turns out we get faster pulls from it, as well as being a good internet-cit

I have actually started preferring 76 stations because they all support the 76 app which lets me pay without credit card. My card was skimmed (and recreated into a new physical card!) earlier this year, which almost certainly happened at a

Which is the problem. We're trying to say we've generally exhausted our productive capabilities after 4 days of work per week, which is what this article was saying as well. If I've contributed my maximum amount in 4 days rat

Microsoft uses it for Windows as well, which was so large they wrote their own git filesystem to power it.

I believe the initial argument is that "pivoting" of the players is inevitable, due to the relatively short shelf-life of a video game's popularity. Whereas a professional athlete in traditional sports can typically play one

The amount of data they collect surely they stream much of it directly to log files. Those log files are not by user. You try reading and rewriting petabytes of data out of S3 to remove lines matching a specified ID.

With it taped to the back, you don't get blowback, but there is significantly reduced airflow out the front. I used a filter of this type for ~2 weeks during the Thomas fire. Worked very well, though the proper filter I received from A

Is it not still shown as "Fullfilled by Amazon" but all grouped under the same product page? I presumed "Sold by Amazon.com" meant procured, shelved, and shipped directly via Amazon.com, none of this third party fulfillm

Maybe it's just fond memories from a long-ago era, but didn't the original Airport Express have multi-room audio? I remember it working quite well. How is this a feature, 15 years later?

I have a first-gen echo, and I will say, hands down, my iphone 7+ with "hey siri" can hear and understand me better. It's also faster at performing actions on my philips HUE hub.

I did reasearch during my MS as well. Tuition + Healthcare + Stipend. Still lost out on 1.5 years of $100k+ a year to slowly lose money (whatever the stipend didn't cover in my living expenses) and get a MS, but I'm happy in the e

These are some of my favorite sorts of threads on HN. Love thinking about this sort of thing for any future endeavours.

Yeah, I don't get it either. Maybe if you want a smaller denominatioin? I think gift cards start at $25.

I work in industry, and while I haven't explored the Guardian's player, I do use MailOnline's plugins extensively, and they work better than any other tester I've found. Fantastic stuff, and its open source.

Depends on how much you prefer the experience of an iPhone versus an Android. There's a reason someone might choose an Audi versus a similarly equipped (engine wise) Volkwagen - it's a different experience, at a price, that some p

I'm just starting my sixth year at UCSB (undergrad + MS), and I never knew about this, but apparently there is an MSR office inside of UCSB's campus! http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/labs/stationq&#x2F

You register and login over HTTP. I would bet they just store it in plaintext. But does it really matter with the first piece of information, how they store your password?

Perhaps it could be due to the fact that you are legally required to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk? Not to say that people do yield often, but once a pedestrian is in a crosswalk, not yielding is a great way to get a quick ticket.

I like to think that your brain was just prioritizing more important concepts :) Sounds like an awesome idea - I look forward to seeing which projects get selected.

I wish it had more than 4MB flash, but it is an awesome little box! The 4MB of flash just means you pretty much need to roll your own OpenWRT image if you want to change anything. A friend has one, and I have an MR3040 (3020 + 2000mAh batte

Microsoft employee's get a discount of about 7% iirc by showing their Microsoft Prime card, which is just a 'Passport' card. Many credit unions and other business provide 'Passport' discounts as well.

Intern's get Blue as well, but are, for most intents and purposes, considered FTE's.

Great point! I have never heard that, but it makes perfect sense. Hopefully I will remember in the future.

In many US cities, you can get UberX for about the price of a cab, Uber about 1.25-1.5 that. However, when you call a cab, it often takes 5-20 minutes, you have no idea who is picking you up, and often times they wont even show up if you ar
